Oh wikipedia how I love thee, let me count the ways.

By randomly browsing I found out that the name of the book "Bonfire of the Vanities" is named after an eponymous event that happened in 1497 in Florence. Living in Florence for 6 months had a decent impact on my life, and "Bonfire of the Vanities" was thoroughly enjoyable. That's why I care.

Anyway:

--begin quote--
Bonfire of the Vanities refers to an event on 7 February 1497 when followers of the priest Girolamo Savonarola collected and publicly burned thousands of objects in Florence, Italy, on the Shrove Tuesday festival.

The focus of this destruction was on objects considered sinful, including vanity items such as mirrors, cosmetics, fine dresses, and even musical instruments. Other targets included immoral books, manuscripts of secular songs, and pictures. Among the objects destroyed in this campaign were several original paintings on classical mythological subjects by Sandro Botticelli, who placed them in the bonfire himself.
--end quote--

How cool is that?

Yeah, I'll be at the Tuesday show for sure. It's looking like I might go to the one tonight, too, but that depends on if it isn't sold out yet, and if AceTracer wants to (he's in town staying with me).
